read moreGlock Maritime Spring Cups
MCC has recently obtained Glock Maritime Spring Cups. These are hard to find because they Glock generally only supplies them by agency letterhead. The Maritime Spring Cups are used by operators on the sharp end, especially those near water to ensure perfect reliability with their guns. Their purpose is to allow water to drain away from the striker in the event your weapon ever gets submerged. It is conceivable that you might get a light strike if the water doesn’t drain. Please DO NOT SHOOT UNDERWATER!!!! This could hurt you and destroy...

read moreXS Sights Follow-Up
We mentioned that the XS sights are good defensive sights in a recent post. We also warned that they are not always as easy to install as the packaging makes it seem. This was true again for us with a 1911 that came to the shop the other day, and it got us thinking that you may want to be cautious of many of the products that are advertised as user installed. If you look at Brownell’s catalog, you will find many items for sale that are advertised as gunsmith fitting required, or recommended. Many shooters have the desire to tinker...

Many people mistakingly believe that because a gun is old it must be valuable when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. I worked in a shop in a very rural area one time where many hunters had single shot shotguns they had inherited from their...

When you are pulled over it is a great courtesy to the officer if you make no attempt to get in your console or glove box until he arrives and asks to see...
